<<Site-R (Raven Rock) is a hollowed out mountain just outside 
<<the town of Waynesboro.  It is actually closer to Pen-Mar / 
<<Cascasde, but off Route 16.  It is a hollowed out mountain 
<<that is an active military base.  You can drive on Route 16 
<<and see the tunnel going into the mountain.  If you stand on 
<<Little Round Top and look over Devil's Den at the mountains 
<<you will see a mountain top with towers and radio towers on 
<<them, this is Site-R.  It was a command center built in the 
<<event of a nuclear war.  It was where Cheney went when 9/11 
<<happened.  
<<
<<I was in Gettysburg the days after 9/11 and it was amazing 
<<the amount of air traffic around that mountain.  
<<
<<If you google Site-R, you can actually find aerial photos of 
<<the mountain and parts of the towers, air vents and thing of 
<<this sort.  
<<
<<Thanks
